[Wanya]
I was young (BOP)
And didn´t have no where to run
I needed to wake up (Wake up) and see (And see)
What´s in front of me (Na-na-op)

There had to be a better way
Sing it again a better way
To show I´m grateful (Hum)
So I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin´ me so long
You don´t know much you mean to me
[Tous ensemble]
´Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (Thank you)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (Thank you)

[Wanya & Mike]
All through my life

I knew that you´d be my world
Knowing everywhere I go
Things you taught me they would show
So many times and changes
You´ve seen me through
I sho nuff couldn´t have survived without you, you
And so I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin´ me so long
You don´t know how much you mean to me, oh

[Tous ensemble] X2
´Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (Thank you)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away

You were right there
And I thank you (Thank you)

When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (Thank you)
